Description:
Formerly the old Shipstones Brewery Social Club (but earlier a pub by the same name); the brewery buildings can be seen next door. There is a single bar, a separate raised seating area plus a pleasant snug room; a function room can be found at the back of the pub. A menu of hot and cold baguettes and daily specials is served at lunchtimes only. They also do a pie and pint special deal on Wednesday evenings 5pm-9pm; another attraction on a Wednesday is a games night from 7pm. DJ Pat spins vinyl records on a Sunday. Two glass cases contain various old beer bottles, plus Bass ashtrays and other breweriana and a number of brewery waiter trays are on the walls, including several items from the nearby former Shipstone and Bradley breweries.
